Mario Kart Wii Tournaments Begin

Home : News : Mario Kart : News Story

Nintendo begins a series of challenges to test your skills.

Nintendo this week announced the commencement of a series of ongoing Mario Kart Wii tournaments which aim to test your skills and pit you against the rest of the online community.

“Every few weeks, a new tournament will appear on the Mario Kart Channel, an online feature that not only allows players to compete in tournaments, but also exchange race data with friends,” reads a recent press release.

“Tournaments might take the form of a challenge for players to race a certain course as fast as they can with specific characters, or to collect a number of coins on a course using the Wii Wheel or another control setup.”

To kick things off, the first tournament (which is online now) challenges participants to record their fastest time on Mario Circuit, but there's a twist! We can't tell you what that twist is, though. That's for you to discover.
